Delhi HC refuses to bar CJP's Central Park protest; police vow to restrain agitation

The Delhi High Court has declined to bar the Confederation of All India Traders (CJP) from holding an agitation at Central Park or other non-designated protest sites. The court was hearing petitions filed by two local traders who sought a directive preventing the CJP from conducting protests outside officially designated areas.

The High Court's refusal to grant the traders' plea underscores constitutional protections for peaceful assembly and protest rights. The court's decision allows the CJP to proceed with its planned demonstration.

In response, the Delhi Police have stated they will take "all possible steps to restrain" the agitation and manage public order during the protest. The police stance suggests they may deploy measures to monitor and control the demonstration while respecting the court's order permitting the protest to proceed.
